I will take individual pictures when I get to each of the parts to prep and paint them. Absolutely excited!! Does he sell it as a complete kit or are the parts individually priced? I know with Shapeways sometimes the total for all the parts individually can mount up , like the VW motors! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know with Shapeways sometimes the total for all the parts individually can mount up , like the VW motors! Good question - all the parts are individual at the moment and you are right - they do mount up. This was deliberate so that each scale part and it’s material/ finish/ price can be selected individually since a few items are partially concealed anyway (or behind smoked windows!). The structural/ functional items are kept individual given they are expensive and if replacements are needed you’d probably only want to buy the item that needs replacing. Probably a separate topic on its own but happy to help and feel free to contact me because it’s easy to put a few items on a sprue where some savings can be made.

Busdriver 6209 Posted June 4, 2022 Not sure I’m in the market at the moment more of a general question? Looking forward to seeing @Willy iine ‘s build . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18806 Posted June 4, 2022 @Busdriver Besides the 3D printed parts, I also have a NIB GF01 kit, and City Turbo body set with wheels/tires dedicated for this build (required parts). Goal is to display all 3 together.. Original Wheeler, WR02 based City Turbo, and nicherotors 4WD Wheeler. Basically a history of how this car has evolved.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy pants 4485 Posted June 4, 2022 Picked these up today from the sorting office - they arrived whilst we were away, front struts struts and steering knuckles for the slow build Sand Scorcher I started at Christmas. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juhunio 6830 Posted June 6, 2022 A bumper box of bits from Japan, including some very colourful finishing touches I've given up trying to find the 47333 TT-02 Blue A Parts Tree and only really needed the diff covers anyway, but found these aluminium Eagle Racing parts instead which will do the job 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4204 Posted June 6, 2022 Being UK-based, my knowledge on Monster Trucks is limited. So I got some light reading for me and el kid. I can't remember whether I first saw this mentioned on TC by @87lc2 A quick flick through and I recognised a few liveries from the MCI website. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juhunio 6830 Posted June 7, 2022 Well, my mind is blown... That, somehow, this travelled from Japan to Cardiff in one piece That was it...no box, no air cushions, no Japanese newspapers 10,000km in just a single layer of bubble wrap. Perfect. *shakes head in disbelief* 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frog Jumper 3662 Posted June 8, 2022 Been looking for one of these for a long time. The elusive BF Xtreme body. Over-priced, needs new paint, and needs new stickers. But the chrome is in very good shape. Not sure of what color to repaint. I have a metallic black OG Blackfoot body already so black is out. I’m thinking root beer bronze. I do like this… Any suggestions??? Terry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
